Ed Sheeran made a surprise appearance on YouTube sensation Caspar Lee’s video channel to take on the infamous ‘brain freeze challenge’ – and it was pretty epic.

The Shape Of You singer, who is currently promoting his new album, went on the channel to do just that – but the 22-year-old YouTuber had other ideas.

The challenge, which has many variations including putting yourself in an ice-cold condition or consuming an ice-cold beverage, has been frequently performed by Caspar on his YouTube page.

Putting his own spin on it, the YouTuber gets his (crazy) guests – the likes of Conor Maynard and KSI – to climb into a tub filled with ice and cold water. And they can only get out when they answer a question right.

Although the rules of the challenge state that the guest goes in the bath, Ed was having none of it, leaving Caspar to take one for the team.

Asking the cheeky ginger a series of questions about the year 2016 in the hope that he would get one right, what made it all the more difficult for 25-year-old Ed is that he’d taken a break from social media, emails and his phone that year.
